well, he might be if he can't reign in the OC and make better in game decisions. This is turning into a 90's Dolphins/Marvin Lewis Bengals situation. Beat average teams, lose to anyone playing at an elite level.

Daboll and McD appear to have their "off days" against elite D's. Trend is horrid.

yeah, Daboll will suddenly be a "genius" again according to the media and anyone who hasn't watched him against actually good D's.

as we should be. CLE and KC both look better coached and more balanced. Plus KC is missing a few key players.

agree. The NFL officiating is generally bad all around, IMO. Too many missed calls everywhere and total lack of consistency as to what gets and does not get called. I'm fearing we will become, at best, those 90s Dolphins.

MCD should be on a short leash this year. His decisions on who to sit and play are bizarre, his in-game management is bizarre, and letting Daboll call horrid plays is ridiculous. Sit your #2 back for a numbers game for ST. WTF. You need a balanced offense. So if Singletary got hurt is Brieda and Jones? I'd say we got lessons, but it's like Daboll and McD NEVER LEARN. A lot of these are the same lessons from last season, esp. the KC game.

totally agree. You basically described what Championship teams have. We don't have that. Hopefully something happens and one of the rookies or AJ breaks out, but I'm not sure what's up with the OL.

his point is that the loss is even worse given the head to head tie breaker.

Hopefully that was Daboll's last time calling plays on offense. Have Dorsey call the plays. Have McD call the plays. Have anyone else call the plays. Daboll can only beat up on average Ds.

I'm not sure we don't think we can't run the ball, or if Daboll just won't run the ball. ??

we needed 7 on that initial kickoff, but cute Daboll came out for a show. It was downhill from there, with cute Daboll making reappearances at inopportune times including 4th downs.

good point. But at least CLE is scoring and has a balanced offense. Hey, who's that Wyatt Teller dude, didn't he play here? Gee, don't we need guards? Thanks Bean.

I'm giving Daboll a short leash after this game and others. He simply is incapable of having a balanced attack, which you need against high caliber Ds. I'm less worried about Josh given the fact the D line was in his face all day, and they only rushed 4. I'm more worried about our terrible OL.

this might be a good point. Ben had some bizzarly off target passes to wide open guys, mostly RB Harris. That said, our OL and DL are albatrosses that Bean did nothing of any import with, and we will pay the price for that against good teams. Our offensive playcalling is also a disaster against good teams when you need a more balanced approach.

and Cincy.

both the protection and the punter was horrid on that play. Total disaster, really, a one play picture of the Bills entire game.

we will never know as long as Daboll is here.

I agree with you, he was too slow getting the punt off, esp. since Steelers showed a max blitz/block on the play. Shouldn't have been a surprise. And some punters would have you know, moved to the side, etc.

I think we have an OC problem. If I'm Bean I'm having a talk with Daboll after today's disaster, which follows other similar disasters against good defenses.

OC needs to be better also. You play one dimensional, you lose to good teams. Every time.

Haak needed to move to the side, not hold the ball so long, he should have seen max block, and tried anything to get at least a shank punt.

he may turn out to be a beast, but being in the backfield and not doing much is not really impactful. We have low standards for our DE's. Basham was not dressed. Great pick Bean. Meanwhile, KC is starting Bolton at LB. AJ Epanesa was also invisible today.

bingo. We are beginning to look like the Marvin Lewis Bengals.

I think the point is our other CBs are not good enough. Glad we drafted 2 non-impactful DE's, one of whom was inactive.

poor coaching, drafting, and playing. Great combo.
